Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Signs and symptoms of anemia include, pallor, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Tachycardia, not bradycardia, and dark urine, not dilute, are signs and symptoms of anemia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Frequently, heat to the affected area is soothing. Cold compresses are not applied to the area because doing so enhances vasoconstriction and occlusion. Bed rest is usually well tolerated during a crisis, although the actual rest obtained depends a great deal on pain alleviation and the use of organized schedules of nursing care. Although the objective of bed rest is to minimize oxygen consumption, some activity, particularly passive range of motion exercises, is beneficial to promote circulation. Usually the best course is to let children determine their activity tolerance. Elevating the extremity will not help in sickle cell disease.
